Question

Consider a physical pendulum with length of 99.5 cm and mass of 185 g. If the pendulum was released from an angle less than 10°, then calculate the angular speed of the pendulum. (g = 9.80 m/s^2)

Answer 1

Answer:

The angular speed of the pendulum is 3.138 rad/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 99.5 cm

Mass = 185 g

We need to calculate the angular speed

Using formula of angular speed

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}$

Where, l = length

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.80}{99.5\times10^{-2}}}$

$\omega=3.138\ rad/s$

Hence, The angular speed of the pendulum is 3.138 rad/s.
